Shark is not only a vacuum cleaner manufacturer but they make cleaning products, case in point: Euro-Pro Shark 13-Inch 3-Speed Cordless Sweeper UV617. Shark’s UV617 is a Sweeper-Vacuum in the traditional sense. This Shark stick vacuum is described as lightweight, easy to use and cordless.
Shark UV617 Sweeper Consensus: The machine has a pretty common problem: it breaks down, or its battery needs to be replaced – causing repair costs. This stick vacuum which may have nice features like being lightweight, cordless or being designed for carpets and bare floors is overshadowed by this big problem.

Reviewers were split on this sweepers quality. One reviewer saying, “I wish that I could say that this is the best product and everyone should run out and purchase one and cleaning will be without effort. Unfortunately, this is another product that is a great idea, definitely fun, but like everything else, has its limits. It is important to distinguish that this is a sweeper not a vacuum. The sweeper can be used on the carpet but that is an added feature more than anything.”
Reviewers also claim that the product has design flaws which cause the sweeper to be unreliable, “ Bought a Shark cordless sweeper last Feb 08 and registered it online. it lasted a few weeks before stopping. I charged it initially as required before use, and later as needed.However, after a few weeks very good operation, it stopped with 3 green lights flashing. I wrote to Denver initially for advice, including email address. No response. I wrote to Denver again a month later, restating problem, with copy of earlier letter and again giving email address.”
